David Stevenson, the Rainbow Baby.
On 15 December 1960, at approximately 5pm, a newly born baby was discovered lying in the hall on the second floor of a block of flats in Golders Green, London, UK.
He had been abandoned.
He was unharmed and dressed in a nappy and a vest and wrapped in two multi-coloured blankets, one with a picture of a teddy bear embroidered on it.
Despite extensive police enquiries and media exposure at the time, neither parent of the three-hour-old baby boy ever came forward.
Some 50 years later, David still hopes that someone can help us find living relatives of the infant the press nicknamed
'The Rainbow Baby'.
The baby was given the name David by the woman police constable who took care of him that day. David is now a 49-year-old man with three grown-up sons of his own. He would still dearly love to know who his parents are.
Can you help?
If you can provide any information that may lead David to find out more about his parents he would love to hear from you.
